War petition links alcohol to war losses and calls for liquor curbs
The petition argues £2300 million spent on alcohol during 20 months of war harmed the nation. It cites food waste, manpower loss, and 60 000 New Zealand soldiers affected by venereal disease, blaming liquor for much of the damage. It notes liquor curbs in several colonies reduced drunkenness and urges Britain to restrain alcohol to aid victory.
